Portable Pivoting Power Adapter Maximises Your Hotel's Outlets

Even fancy new hotel rooms with flat screen TVs and iPhone alarm clocks catering to our gadget-laden lifestyles never seem to have enough outlets for charging all your toys. So a portable power bar is the most important thing you can travel with, particularly this folding model which can handle even the bulkiest of wall warts.

It’s actually a portable version of Quirky’s popular Pivot Power Strip but its smaller form factor, which only doubles the capacity of a given outlet (plus a couple of USB ports), is easier to stash in a carry-on bag. Take it from a bunch of folks who regularly travel with a lot of gear to charge, this is $US25 you probably won’t regret spending on a travel accessory.
